Bungie Teases Community, Possibly Halo 4?

Recent posts on Bungie.net foreshadow an announcement in the near future.

If you've been a participant in the Bungie.net forum community, you may be excited about the return of the Superintendent, the Bungie-created profile meant to confuse as much as entertain. The Superintendent served as a moderator of sorts, telling fans to "KEEP IT CLEAN!"

His transmissions were previously decoded as a countdown to a July 16th announcement during E3, though the announcement was delayed by Microsoft, for which Bungie issued an apology.

A new series of cryptic teaser announcements were posted by the Superintendent on Bungie.net, on September 19th and September 22nd. The first transmission chronicles a series of messages between an Urban Infrastructure AI (Superintendent) and a UNSC Communications Officer on the UNSC Prowler "Tokyo Rules," while the most recent transcript is from the officers aboard the Heavy Cruiser "Say My Name."

The garbled text and imagery on the site are clearly teasers for something coming soon from the team at Bungie, but what exactly? The smart money is on a new game announcement, perhaps Halo 4. We should learn more in the very near future.
